Well anyway it was a good show with the restored Phantom in its new markings a hi light in static and the last appearance of the jungle Sea King in the commando assault,sadly reduced to just four participants as the old girl begins to be retired.
Hey ho changes on the horizon with a Wildcat part of the Black Cats duo and a marked out outline of the new carrier on the grass to show its size……..no F-35 tho!

Still looks pretty intact to me…….where was it heading….Everetts!?

If I can offer some advice. the responsibility for naming roads these days lies with the County or Unitary authority Councillor (usually the cabinet member) responsible politically for highways, not with council officers and not with a local parish or town council,although they may be consulted and make recommendations.
There is sometimes a reluctance to name roads after people in case the family objects but this seems very unlikely in this case. So a petition is fine but what you really need to try and do is meet with and put your argument direct to the councillor concerned….and don’t let him or her tell you it’s not possible.
Point him or her in the direction of North Somerset Council where the cabinet member has insisted all the roads on a new development on the old airfield receive names of people,aircraft and buildings associated with the airfields history. Thus we have Hafner Way,Hosegood Road and so on. ( Hafner was Bristol Helicopters chief designer ,Hosegood the chief test pilot).
Good luck.

This Whirlwind is indeed based at Crewkerne with the owner on his farm.It made its 2014 debut at the Weston Air Fesival last month ,flying in on both days. Meanwhile you’ve missed the Wessex. That flew at Biggin Hill earlier this year but has now gone overseas…but don’t worry,there’s another on its way.

Yes…I was chatting to the Sally B crew on Sunday morning.They were surprised to learn that she had visited Weston before…in 1976 at the old Weston Air Day on the now closed airfield. I recall it was taxied off the edge of the concrete and the organisers had to get in a heavy duty tow truck to get her back on !

In days long gone I visited HMS Siskin as the SAH was known on May 1st 1972 and photographed the Seahawks for an article in Aviation News…..WV865, WV826, XE368 with wings from WM915,WV798, WM969 and WM983….all numbered SAH -1 to -6 consecutively and painted Matt black. Several spare wings were also present for repairs when the trainee deck handlers bent them. Three other Seahawks were retired for firefighting training….WM913, WV909, WF299. One other,WM961 had recently joined the Torbay Air Museum.

They weren’t all scrapped….there’s a few around with a lot less work needed if you need a lawn ornament !
